摘要： The operating principle permits a reader of an electronically published document to create notes, bookmarks, or annotations and relate them to a particular location in the document. The record of such annotations or "place marks" can be stored within or separately from the published material. Annotations stored separately from the originally published document are associated by name with the document and can either be accessed by a particular individual reader and/or shared and exchanged between individuals with access to the same (or copies of the) published electronic document for a variety of purposes. The attachment of annotations is a capability provided to the reader of an electronic document and does not require any specific preparation on the part of the writer or editor of an electronic document. The association of annotations with a particular context within the document exploits the fact that the writer in constructing an electronically published document has indicated the structure of the document by "marking up" the material and identifying major document elements such as chapters, sections, sub-sections, paragraphs, figures, etc. It also uses relative position within the "finest" identified document element to fix the precise position of some annotations that the reader wants to pinpoint to a particular line or word position.

摘要翻译： 操作原理允许电子发行文档的读者创建笔记，书签或注释，并将它们与文档中的特定位置相关联。 这些注释或“地方标记”的记录可以存储在或发布的材料中。 与最初发布的文档分开存储的注释与文档的名称相关联，并且可以由特定的个人读者访问和/或在访问相同（或者是发布的电子文档的副本）的个体之间共享和交换的种类 的目的。 注释的附加是向电子文档的读者提供的能力，并且不需要电子文档的作者或编辑者的任何特定的准备。 注释与文档中特定背景的关联利用了作者在构建电子出版的文档中通过“标记”材料并识别主要文档元素（如章节，子部分）的结构来指示文档的结构， 部分，段落，数字等。它还使用“最好”识别的文档元素中的相对位置来固定读者想要确定到特定行或字位置的一些注释的精确位置。
